Hey Dave, no offense taken. For sure why not get the JX if the specs are the same if not better. The only thing to consider is the quality of the components that make up the servo. Everything from the quality of the solder joints, motor, esc, type of metal used in the gears, etc. Yea, a steering servo is going to see much more load than a control surface servo. When I'm crawling and get a tire/front axle stuck between 2 objects I can literally wave my truck by steering left and right to swing the entire truck back and forth and not worry about burning out the servo. Maybe the JX or your hybrid can do this as welll, let us know. I have had this happen to a cheap chinese servo though in my excavator only a couple weeks after getting it.
